The Catholic Church says using birth control is "against God's will." Apparently, we are supposed to have sex and God then chooses if the act should bare children or not.
The concept is, if God wants you to have a dozen kids, you shouldn't alter that by using birth control.....all right. I find the notion pretty infantile and simple, but so be it, if that floats your boat.
BUT............... at my pre cana class, they spent a really long time teaching us the "rhythm method" of birth control. (It is very scientific when done right, and can be very effective at avoiding getting preggo if done right).
So, let me get this straight. Avoiding getting preggo using devices or drugs, such as the pill or rubbers, is frowned on my God, but achieving the same results via the rhythm method (which is accomplishing the same
goal, that is the avoidance of getting knocked up, thus not allowing God to decide if you get preggo), is some how all fine and dandy with God and the church.
Does anyone else NOT see what BS this is?
I am astonished that the church doesn't see this as double standards. It's mind boggling.
